Well water contaminated by acidic mine water from the Dabaoshan Mine, south China: chemistry and toxicity.
An investigation into well water quality was carried out in a rural area subject to irrigation with acidic mine water from the Guangdong Dabaoshan Mine, southern China. The results of water pH measurements from 112 wells in two different seasons suggest that the well water has been contaminated to varying degrees in the investigated Shangba floodplain (approximately 11km south of the Guangdong ...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Contamination in Soil and Soybean near the Dabaoshan Mine, South China
Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr and Ni in soybean (Glycine max L.) grown near the Dabaoshan Mine were investigated, and their potential risk to the health of inhabitants was estimated. In the Fandong (FD) and Zhongxin (ZX) villages, which are near the Dabaoshan mineral deposit, concentrations of Pb (0.34 mg kg−1 for FD), Cd (0.23 mg kg−1 for ZX) and Cr (1.14 and 1.75 mg kg−1 for FD and ZX,...
متن کاملReliable Mine Water Technology
Mine planning, permitting and operation require reliable water technology in all its aspects: water inflow, water use, water disposal and discharge, and water impact. Mine water evaluations are relied upon by mining companies, mine regulators and the public to determine whether the mine is technically feasible, optimally designed, financially sound, socially acceptable, and environmentally beni...
متن کاملIdentifying the Cause of Toxicity of a Saline Mine Water
Elevated major ions (or salinity) are recognised as being a key contributor to the toxicity of many mine waste waters but the complex interactions between the major ions and large inter-species variability in response to salinity, make it difficult to relate toxicity to causal factors. This study aimed to determine if the toxicity of a typical saline seepage water was solely due to its major io...
متن کاملHealth risk from heavy metals via consumption of food crops in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine, South China.
Heavy metal contamination of soils resulting from mining and smelting is causing major concern due to the potential risk involved. This study was designed to investigate the heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) concentrations in soils and food crops and estimate the potential health risks of metals to humans via consumption of polluted food crops grown at four villages around the Dabaoshan mine, Sou...
